A LIFE LONG LESSON.

ee en

The golden glory of the autumn sunshine, derpened by the near approach of a g'orious sunset, fell over the iow, white farm house, the fresh green lane, the little brown gate, and lingered with loving touch over the auburr hair of the pretty girl at the gate, as she stood tapping the latch impatiently with her dimpl- ed hand, a frown on her face and a pout upon ber red lips.

Her comparion—a broadshouldered, tall, good leoking young fellow—leaned with fo!d- ed arms upon the rustic fence beside the gate, jooking into her down-cast face—or rather at it—while he spoke seriously 'o her.

Hettie Thornhurst was the dearest little farmer’s lassie a man ever loved, and of course Harry Walton loved her ; but she wasa wilful littie girl, too, and just now her will was in opposition to her lover's.

Hetty did not like the farm.

She longed for a taste of the gay life in the glittering city and never remembered, silly iittie thing, that the pretty robin redbreast— such a dear little bird in his own nest—could not be happy among a group of brilliant birds of Paradise. .

And now Hettie had an invitatien to spend the whole winter with a rich aunt in London and she wanted to go. More especially as she had lately had a gift of five hund ed pounds from her grandfather and felt herself able to go in style.

Harry Walton did not want her to go and hid just been telling her so.

‘** Puiting myself out of the question, pet,” suid Harry, as Hettie stood tapping the gate latch, ‘‘ I don’t think you ought to leave your moiher. She does not seem so well this autumn, and there’s too much work for her to do alone.”

‘Let Tom hire a girl, then.”

‘‘That would be a heavy expense, and you know Tom wants to pay off the mortgage your father left un the farm this year.”

*“Itcan wait,” cried Hettie. ‘‘I’m sure it won't cost Tom anything if Igo. IL have grandpa’s money, you know.”

“Yes, Hettie; but pardon me if I say that [ think your grandfather's mouey could be, better spent than in fine dresses.” |

‘‘Pray, how ?” asked Hettie, quickly.

“Jf you were to invest itin sume nice little property, now.”

“Oh, yes; and then, if we ever marry, the nice littie property will be yours, I suppose.” |

The instant she had spoken Hettie woald' gladly have recalled her uzgene:ous words for | she well knew that Harry Walton was above | any such thoughts. .

His face turned scarlet, he let go the fence oe alked away afew steps. Then came do OR.

**Hettie, you are not yourself now, nothing you say wil make me angry. But you know I did not deserve that cut.’

*‘No, you didn’t, I was wrong to say so. Forgive me, H«rry, please! I didn’t mean to,

ravate me so !”

Your money is your own ; do as you like with it and go where you like. But if I had authority over you I would certainly prevent this visit to the city.’

Poor Harry was unfortunate in his choice of words this evening, for this speech roused Hu ttie’s temper again.

Her eyes dashed as she cried—

“You hav’n’t authority over me, Harry Walton, and if you go on this way you never wil) have!”

*: Take care, Hetty!” cried Harry, turning

**] won't take care!” cried Hettie, reck- lessy. ‘‘I believe the very best thing 1 could do would be to break the engagement before I go. “Do you mean what you say ?” asked Harry in a low tone.

Nothing could stop Hettie now.

** Yes, Ido! I dare say we should never get along if we did marry, so we had better part new.”

‘** lf you go to the city I suppose we had,” said Harry, in the same deep suppressed tone. ‘* For you will be very likeiy to throw your- self away on some b ainless fool who will

plain rustic though lam. But I'll give you one chauce to reconsider this.”

‘*] don’t want any chance. J don’t want to reconsider, and lam glad to break!” cried Hettie, who seemed as if the demon of per- versity had possession of her.

lf Harry could have grown whiter he would. But he spose quite calmly as he said:

‘* Very well. I shall never ask you to re- consider again. We will take this as final. You need notreturn my ting. | have no use for it and no other girl shall ever wear it. Throw it away as you have me. But re- member, Hettie Thornburst, if you ever need & friend, while Harry Walton lives you have one that will serve you. Now, goud-bye; 1 hope you will be nappy.”

He turned and strode away without even offering ber his hand.

Poor Harry. He came up to the little gate so happily afew minutes before and he was going away so utterly miserable.

And Hettie, as she walked into the house, felt quite sobered, if not frightened by what she had done. She would uot even dare tell her mother ox Tom, that was sure. She would not even take off Harry’s ring till she went avayv, for now she was determined to go. The gentle mother, she well knew, would offer no objections, and Tom said he would as soon undertake to bieak four yoke of oxen as to manage her, so he at least would not inter- fere.

She wrote aunt Julia she would come at ence. Aad a few days after, when sh» had re- solved to give up the trip and stay at home; came a box frum aunt Julia, with shimmering silks and flashing bugles, and turned poor

simple country home and plain dresses.

She went to the city. And as Harry called to bid her good bye, she did not need to teli Tom and her mother that the engagement was broken.

But she knew that he only called to keep down gossip, and his manner was so cold and constrained that he was glad when he was

‘one. And she tried to persuade herself that the dull heavy heartache that she felt was only vexation.

Aunt Julia received her rapturously and immediately began to take delight in dressing her up in all the fine feathers she could think of, saying a girl so beautiful could not fail to make an impression if she was well dressed.

At first it was delightful to Hettie too. But she seoa began to weary of lying in bed until

Hettie’s head completely away from her| said

to grow tired of sitting idle, when at home, and uf such a round of parties. But not for all the world would she have owned this even t» herself.

Hettie did make an impression in society, and received a great deal of attention from the young men.

One of these, Mr. Mortimer Burroughs, was especially devoted, and Aunt Jniia began to congratulate herself on securing one of the most eligible matches of the season for her young portegee.

And Hettie was so dazzled by the fascinat- ing manners of Mr. Mortimer Burroughs that she almost forgot the existence of poor Harry Walton, who bad more heart in his little finger than had Mr. Mortimer Burroughs in his whole body.

But this poor Hettie was doomed to find out for herself.

One morning she went out alone on an errand for Aunt Julia,

It promised rain, so she put on a plain waterproof and an old hat, instead of the dainty velvets and plumes she usually wore.

She was seated in a tramcar on her wey home, when two gentlemen came in, whom she quickly saw were Mr, Burroughs and Mr. Carter, who also belonged to Aunt Julia's ** set.”

She thought of the old hat and waterproof, and a swift impulse of false pride and wound. ed vanity made her half draw her veil, and turn her fuce toward the window, so that, though they sat close to her, they could not recognize her.

Of course she could not help hearing what they said; but she did not pay much attention until a remark from Mr. Carter arrested her.

‘* By the way, Burroughs, where is the fair Jiancee these days?”

‘* Oh, she’s in Gloucestershire yet, at her sister's. But she will be here before Easter, answered Burroughs.

“ She will, eh? Then you'll have to leave off flirting, old boy. She won't stand it.”

‘“* Not she! but 1 fancy my sins of that sort are not grievous.”

‘*] don’t know about that! There's the pretty little Thornhurs:.” Hettie started as she heard her own name. ‘“ 1 declare, Bur- roughs, that went far enough to look serious.”

Burroughs laughed.

‘Well, she is a pretty little thing. If Miss Glover didn t have the inside track, and the little Thornhurst had a little more style and a little more money, I doubt but I might have been serious. I'}] own to a little flirting there.”

** You're too bad, Burroughs. she take it?”

**Oh, I expect she'll fret a little. But, law, she'll go home and marry sonie clod- hopper in-homespun, avd forget all about me. See here, Carter, we want to stop here.”

And to Hettie’s infinite relief, the young men left the vehicle.

Poor child! Her heart and brain were in a whirl at this sudden demolishment of her beautiful air castles.

This, then, was the man who had so dazzled her eyes! She felt thankful that, through all her t.ouble, that it was only her eyes, not her heart, for she did nO: really love Morti- mer Burroughs.

She had heard a report that Burroughs was engaged toa rich lady, but she did not believe it, for had he not made al] professions to her?

He had confirmed it now himself, and Het- tie felt that she could despise him for his falsity—and weil it was for her that she did feel su.

‘**But I must gohome. | must! Ican't be happy here!” she cried, found herself in her room at her aunt’s.

And how to get away without offending kind aunt Julia and being obliged to confess the truth, she did not know. But she was iletermined to leave the city before Mr. Bur- roughs’ betrothed came, ‘Tel! the truth she could not, aud for that reason could not write either to Tom or her mother,

She thought of a plan at last, but had a hard tight with her own pride before she could bring herselt to adopt it.

At length, however, she wrote to Harry Walton this note :—

How will

I will! as she

‘* Harry,—Last autumn you said if ever I needed a friend you would serve me. I need on» now, and I claim your promise. And the greatest service any friend could do me would be to write a letter calling me home imme- diately, for reasons sv urgent that aunt Jane cannot refuse to let me come.

Yours, Hevrtir.”

She sent the letter without anyone being the wiser, and the next post brought an an- swer in Harry’s well-known hand, but inside it ran thus :—

‘Dear Herriz,—I am sorry to interrupt your pieasure, but your mother has been ill jor several days, and 1 think it is important you should come home at once. I wiil be at the station to-morrow evening. Your affec- tionate brother.”

‘*Good ! good !” cried Hettie, clapping her hands as the read this. ‘* The dear tellow has takeu the hint, aud written as if it were Tom, without any name, either! I can show this to Aunt Julia.”

So, armed with the letter, she went to her aunt. Of course, this authority -could not be disputed.

Aunt Julia, with many regrets, and exact- ing a promise from Hettie to return as soon as she could--which Hettie inwardly resolved should be a long time—let her go home.

As she expected, it was Harry, not Tom, who met her at the statioa, with his own trap, to drive her home.

*- Ig mother really ill, Harry?” was ber first question.

‘‘Not seriously. She is confined to the house with a cuold—nothing worse. But I thought it would serve as a pretext.”

‘* Nicely,” said Hettie, laughing.

As they were driving home, Harry bent down, and looking into Hettie’s pretty face,

id :— ‘‘ Well, Hettie, are you satisfied with city life ?”

‘* Quite satisfied,” answered Hettie.

“ And are you glad to get home !’

** Very glad, we :

“Then, Hettie, Iwill do what I said I would not do just before you weat. I'll ask you once more to reconsider what you said. Will you?’ 5

‘Qh, Harry, if you can forgive me, and care anything at all about such a fickle- minded gir! as I have been !”

‘* Of course I can forgive you !” cried Harry, drawing her close to his broad, honest breast, ‘‘and [ don’t think you'll ever be fickle- minded again! Oh, Hettie, darling, I knew my dear iittle brown thrush would tire her wings flying abroad in the great world, and be glad to fly tack to her own little home
